Mousa Dembele denies reports he has found a stunning £1m worth of forgotten treasure in cellar of his hotel

MOUSA DEMBELE has denied reports he has found £1million worth of hidden treasure in his new hotel.

Spurs' Belgium international is opening a hotel in Antwerp called De Gulde Schoen - The Golden Shoe.

Dembele, 30, is said to have got archaeologists to check the 700-year-old building before starting a refit.

And it has been reported they found a trove of priceless 18th-century porcelain, glass, pottery and tableware stashed in the cellar.

However, a source close to the star has denied the story that has been widely reported in his homeland.

"The building seems to have been a high-class tavern or hotel in the past."

Dembele, himself one of Spurs' "antiques", hopes to face Manchester City at the Etihad tomorrow.
